LadyT, Long time no hear. . . This is excellent initiative! I believe you will get generous response, in spirit and finances but before the money start coming in, the idea - in strategy and execution - should be well thought out. The end-to-end process for how it will effectively benefit the targeted recipients need to be documented and rehearsed. Also, it can be expected that where there is money some elements of crime will creep in, so you will need political backing to enforce laws. Here is what I think. . . . first, set up a circle of influence including people that are willing to volunteer time for meeting and conference where you can deliberate on the requirements (procedural steps). Again, an excellent idea and God Bless you for it. |

What about play pump solution? Effectlively a bore hole with an added advantage of providing the facility for village kids to congregate and have fun.

Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 11:25pm On Oct 26, 2010 |
The play pump project ran into similar maintenance issues. While many others simply dried up. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by LadyT(f): 2:59pm On Oct 28, 2010 |
Have not post for a few days work has been mad! Have been doing a lot of research on borehole drying etc http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Borehole+drying%3A+a+review+of+the+situation+in+the+Voltaian, -a0210520700 Interesting paper for the nerds among you. From the looks of things I think with some of our peoples mentality there has to be some kind of education on maintanance. |

don't let this thread die, i'm willing to contribute to worthy and noble projects. I thot Pat Robinson is doing water projects in africa. keep it up OP. let's learn to give back. i want to do much once the huge dollars start rolling in soon. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 1:23am On Oct 29, 2010 |
LadyT: Quite a lot of organizations have tried that, and a lot have learnt over time that the poor are not always in need of being taught how to fish . . . some do not care to learn at all since it's all being handed down to them at no cost to them. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Nobody: 5:13pm On Nov 02, 2010 |
I think you should have an idea of what you want to do and see existing activities . . . (see links below) http://www.unicef.org/mdg/nigeria_56209.html http://ruwassa.org/ http://wsssrp.org/ http://wsssrp.org/project.php http://watsanmnet./2008/11/28/achieving-water-and-sanitation-mdg-in-nigeria/ |

Keeping it alive! |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by LadyT(f): 2:07am On Nov 15, 2010 |
Dealing with our people is like banging ones head against a brick wall. In the meantime I would like to donate some money to hospitals to pay for peoples treatment. At least I can feel we have started somewhere. If anyone knows any hospitals or patients who need donations please post it here! Let's do something before this year is out. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by LadyT(f): 2:20am On Jan 05, 2011 |
had 3 wisdom teeth removed on the 29th of december what a new year but this has not been forgotten |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 2:27am On Jan 05, 2011 |
So what next? Are we still DIGGING WELLS? Or are we going for the bigger game this time around? Water is to become the new gold and this might be an opportunity for people to make some money, while supplying well needed resource here. I am not ruling out the possibility of making a business out of this by the way. ROFLMAO!! I no wan siddon dey wait pull money commot my own pocket everyday make some indian/chinese company come go sign billion dollar contract to supply the same people water like say we no even matter at all. ROFLMAO!! |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by debosky(m): 3:13am On Jan 05, 2011 |
I will sign up if you have the ability to execute a billion dollar contract. . . .I have the connections. @ LadyT Pele dear. . . .any progress on workable ideas? |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 4:04am On Jan 05, 2011 |
We are not too small to handle billion dollar infrastructural development projects in Nigeria. Even my niece can do a better job than thisĀ N600 Million Water Plant Collapses At Test Run , yet some goon probably got paid billions of naira to construct that(with the way projects work in Nigeria, it is the likely the contract don exchange hands so many times before it reached the contractor handling this here), and will likely abandon it after a couple more months. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 4:10am On Jan 05, 2011 |
http://allafrica.com/stories/201011100336.html The former Commissioner for Water Resources and Rural Development, Abdullahi Ugah, had said the contract specification designed the job for six months only. Imagine that? Yet, there have probably been organizations in the area busy digging well after well all this while, not realizing that someone is making big money from it all in the meantime. lol |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 3:48am On Jan 06, 2011 |
So @LadyT, How do you want to proceed? |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 5:01pm On Jan 06, 2011 |
Someone please contact lady t and tell her that this is a new year and probably a good time to start on this. Some one us are waiting oo |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by debosky(m): 4:23pm On Jan 07, 2011 |
We shall be in touch and return with updates |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 5:01am On Mar 22, 2011 |
Knock, Knock!!! Is this still on? |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by fstranger3(m): 5:05am On Mar 22, 2011 |
Of course, it is dead. It shall never work and it will never work as long as Kobojunkie is on it. Kobojunkie Kwenu Kobojunkie Kwezonu!! |

Re: The Nigeria Water Project by LadyT(f): 2:25am On Nov 02, 2011 |

Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 4:50pm On May 26, 2012 |
It is been over 8 months. Is this dream dead? |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 12:48pm On Jun 05, 2012 |
Bump again! |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Nobody: 12:54pm On Jun 05, 2012 |
Lol. Kobojunkie, let it be. The project is dead LadyT rarely visits Nairaland. Debosky is busy blowing grammar in the sports section. Have you considered going solo?? |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Kobojunkie: 1:20pm On Jun 05, 2012 |
Going solo on a project like this? I am a Computer Scientist, not a Mechanical Engineer or anything of that sort. I understand some of the business that may be involved, but not much else about how best to get these things done. I really had high hopes for this really, and still do. If after getting over $5 million for a water project, a contractor can do a half-arse job and get away with it, I think we can do a better job if we put our heads together, still get paid some at the end of the day. |
Re: The Nigeria Water Project by Luicstef: 12:26pm On Sep 15, 2013 |
